Classic John Martyn done by us Sep 2009. A Soundroom production I did make a genuine mistake putting it in here when it IS a cover song. But I'm leaving it now unless I get pulled up.

Story behind the song
We tried this once at open-mic, disastrously in 2008. It was a hard one to play bass on and sing simultaneously - and keep an eye on a songsheet!
So when it came to the recording session when I could have done them separately, I offered it to AM as he had suggested the song originally (I'd never heard of song or artist).
But I did have a little go later, a-haa..............
Lyrics
may you never lay your head down
without a hand to hold
may you never make your bed out in the cold.
Yoy're just like a big strong brother of mine and you know that I love you true
And you never talk dirty behind my back and I know that there's some who do.
Please won't you bear it in mind,
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Please won't you bear it in mind for me.
may you never lose your temper
if you get hit in a bar-room fight
may you never lose your woman overnight
